  The Fed 5 Rangefinder camera produces sharp photos and remarkable qualities as the more expensive Leica.

  A faster film with more grain and stronger contrast. Whites are super-bright, blacks are super-bold, and it's all good! Go ahead and live it up a little - we ain't gonna tell nobody!

  Deep blacks, rich whites, and a ton of contrast give this film a traditional-yet-edgy black and white appeal. Out of production in much of the world and quite rare!

  Tungsten film is designed to make the yellow light from a typical light bulb look white. Therefore, it has a strong blue cast (thereby cancelling out the yellow). Fashion photos know that shooting Tungsten film during the daylight will give a moody and awesome blue tone to your whole image. And using a yellow flash will create a natural-white subject in this bizarre bluesy world. It's AMAZING!

  If you need exceptionally small grain and spot-on pinprick sharpness, then this film is your ticket. On top of that, it can be processed in normal C41 chemicals - meaning that even the el cheapo lab or supermarket down the road can develop this film at their usual rock-bottom price. If there is a more penny-saving way of shooting creatively and easily with B&W, we haven't found it.

  This super-high speed film allows for hand-held shooting in low light without a flash. It also features a fat, crunchy film grain for that authentic lo-fi "noir" look. Its sheer magic inside your LC-A+ and will deliver beautifully gritty shots of angels with dirty faces.

  This monochrome champ gives awesome grey tones and razor-sharp results and is extremely fine grain. Wonderful for when you want to slow things down a bit. You can shoot with a full sun or with a long-exposure (or a flash!)

  Simply the greatest high-speed color film. Load this into your LC-A+ to shoot hand-held without blurring in a variety of lower-light and indoor conditions. Unless it's really dark out, you can kiss that tripod goodbye. And the enormous grain this film provides gives a crunchy lo-fi look to your images which is seriously awesome.

  Those super-strong black and white tones that you love in APX 100, but with a speed boost to 400 for extra-dark or extra-fast subject. Woot, woot says I. The bigger grain is quite tasty too.

  A very special film designed to give the sharp tones and punchy contrast of classic black and white photography.

  You say that Vista 100 and 200 just ain't fast enough? You've got to shoot a chimpanzee bicycle race or a chess match at dusk? Then Vista 400 is the solution for you my friend.

  Vista was the top banana of Agfa's consumer color films, and is now discontinued. It delivers even brighter colors and sharper contrast than the usual Agfacolor film with that 100 ISO fine grain that we love.

  Bold colors, great skin tones, and super-reliable performance means that Reala is quite possibly the best consumer-grade color negative film in the world. For real!

  Like Superia 100, it offers vivid yet natural colors but this higher speed allows you to stop action in sunshine and shoot without flash in lower light. 36 exposures. A great film for our plastic Lomography cameras - Fisheye, Supersampler, Oktomat, etc.
